Temporal Pearls

At one time, he found his head became his pen*s and his hands were the legs and then his heart was the head. It was bizarre and he began to laugh.

All this effect he was suffering was a result of numerous dragon abilities. They were fighting among themselves for something. What? Seth had a guess and he laughed.

~You are laughing in the face of Death~

Temra spoke

Any time Seth uses an Aspecto, the dragon in the womb will have some leeway. Seth understood that but he knew they could never escape.

~Yeah. I survived the moon~

He answered.

~True. You are a lucky guy~

It was about to cut off the connection Seth asked.

~What are dragons? Why are you more imposing?~

~Dragons are life forms that are born supreme and above other life forms. The first dragon breathed fire and thus all those that breathe only fire have certain superiority above others.~

Seth didn't ask any questions because he saw a small dragon the size of a pigeon, far away from him, eating a crystal.

Seth's heart skipped a beat as the dragon's womb was in his hand. The dragon glanced at him but did nothing, it went on and gathered all the crystal around before it came and looked at Seth's face.

Then it waved its tail which somehow shifted Seth and the foam he was wrapped in to another position. The dragon picked the crystals that were under Seth and then left.

As the pigeon dragon left, the roars intensified that was when Seth remembered he had Drumming Dragon Aspecto. He can mute the sound. He called out.

"Vibra Aspecto!"

From Seth's pockets, 40 scales came out and surrounded him in an enveloped fashion.

He didn't expect that, he thought he would tap into a sound but it turned out the Aspecto was related to the scales of the Drumming dragon.

The oval thick drummy scales blocked all sound. Seth made the red foam he was in float and then scales adjusted all around him, creating a sphere. That blocked all kinds of sounds and vibrations from the ground.

For the first time in his life, he heard nothing.

It was scary as the deafness scared him but then his heartbeat grew loud, Guru gam.

He then calmed down. "Impressive ability." The 40 scales did one thing, absorbing sound.

Even though there was no sound, Seth noticed from time to time the scales will ripple and he will feel some uneasiness. That was due to the dragon's roar.

After some minutes, Seth experimented and learned more. The scales can absorb and emit sounds, that was their Primary Ability. But that was not all, the scales can also store the sound for later use, that was their Secondary Ability.

"My name is Seth!"

[My name is Seth]

The voice that repeated was exactly the same.

Apart from that, each scale can be used to capture a specific type of sound at the same time. That means 40 scales equal to 40 different sounds without overlapping.

"The first Major Sound!"

~Vgooooooooooooooooo~

Seth's body shivered as he heard that. It was deafening and overwhelming, however, it was also encompassing, soothing and enveloping. The sound made him feel in awe and servitude. He knew whatever was making that sound was far above him and he can't even imagine its greatness.

Instinctively, he knew what it was. Either the world or Gawee Continent. He can't be sure which one but he leaned toward Gawee Continent.

"Second Major Sound!"

~Puuuuuhewwwwwwpuuuhewww~

It was the wind that was always in motion. It sounds suffocating and it feels as if he couldn't breathe just by listening to it.

"Third major Sound!"

~............~

It seemed silent but it was not. Because this type of silence was different. This type of "silence" made Seth remember the light descending from above, the moonlight. Strangely, the place he was in began to light up for no reason.

"Fourth major sound!"

~Shooshaaaaaaaashoooooo!~

Seth closed his eyes as a particular image came to him; it was the forest. He felt cool and as he breathed he felt as if he was breathing Living Roots' clean air.

"This is magical! Amazing. Keep saving the sounds!"

Four scales began to absorb the different major sounds.

"Fifth major sound!"

~Linnnnnginklinlinnnnnn~

"Really. That's how they sound!"

The sound was soft and tinkling, so also it made the surroundings brighten up just like the moon. That was the stars.

After Seth called another major sound he mates with terrifying snoring. From the looks of it, a powerful creature was nearby sleeping despite all that happened. Seth has his bet at Red Ancient.

The next was the dragons above him fighting.

His tests went on and understand a lot of things and he made some scales to record the major sounds and then he began to pinpoint other sounds that aren't that major.

During that time he records dragon roars and their conversation.

~You are an idiot. They may know if you target one specifically~

Drumming Scale Dragon warned.

Seth ignored it at first but then he stopped altogether. Nevertheless, he was satisfied with this Aspecto. He was already seeing him using it a lot in a fight and also just for pleasure.

A terrifying pressure descends on them. Which made Seth store the womb fast and he looked around but no one. Not for long he smelled blood. His red power instinctively made him look in one direction, some moments later he saw red liquid flowing that emitted a pressure that crushed fragile rocks and pressed them into the ground.

A dragon was heavily wounded and it bled. The thickness of the red made him have an urge to touch it. But under Aura Sight, he was able to see a wave of anger in the blood, unlike the one he has from Floating Feather.

Seth waited patiently until the blood flow closed to the cracks he hid and the attraction Seth had toward red liquid to come toward him was there but the red blood was from Adult Dragon so it was the reverse, Seth was feeling himself pulled toward the red blood.

To quench the desire, he raised his hand toward the blood and silently wished to pull it. Dragons can somehow know if someone touched their body part. So he was gambling here.

A portion of the blood was pulled slowly and Seth didn't speed up as he adjusted the scales to emit any sound that was coming toward him.

Slowly the heavy adult dragon blood reached Seth and like Floating Feather, Seth felt this one was like molten metal, heavy and imposing. He can't infer what dragon has it but he doesn't care.

He pulled more till he couldn't control them due to being heavy and he tapped it with his aura. Trying to see if he can use both aura manipulation and red manipulation to control it. But then it failed, it was like the aura in the blood was locked, and refusing to respond.

Seth brought his left hand and then used both to control the red when the new tattoo on his hand reacted.

[Moon Dust: Amplifying Red Manipulation]

He felt the power increase and he was able to cut the blood portion from the source, the one that was flowing. Achieving that, he moulded a container from the red foam and stored it.

"Dragon Blood Seal: Retina's Order" He whispered.

That made the pressure disappear and undetectable.

He checked the new skill he used and he found that his left arm tattoo that represents a moon encased in a circle and connected to a thick pillar that extended from his bicep had changed.

The thick pillar was now slightly divided from the bicep end. He didn't check the details because another set of blood was flowing.

Even after they touched each other, they did not mix together. Seth used the same strategy, carefully and called upon it.  The brutal war above made him realize the importance of the moon crystals he harvested and that also made him fear being hunted for having so much of it.

He shook his head as he controlled the scale to listen to a dying dragon. His breathing was laboured and the anger in it groaned. However, the other dragon did not finish it completely.

Soon, many dragons fell and bled, and Seth, in fear, still harvested the blood carefully, that was until a particular dragon that Seth thought will die recovered and then breathed fire at all the crevices that their blood flowed through.

All the blood began to evaporate but Seth saw Brown roots poke out and absorb copious amounts of them before the fire destroyed them.

Seth hide behind the glass shield and also obediently stopped what he was doing. About an hour later a group of Moon Dragons appeared and they chased away the other dragon.

No one died though, their insane vitality didn't warrant that. By sunrise, all the dragons left but they left a lingering pressure.
